Mac OS X 10.5 'Leopard' is the sixth release of Mac OS X line of operating systems. Available in two variants for desktop and server computers, the operating system provides several revised data security and protection features. On occasion, you might find your Leopard system being slow and behaving sluggish. This could occur due to disk errors. To solve such problems, Mac OS X includes Disk Utility program to diagnose and repair the disk.

But if it fails to fix corruption issues, you will need to reformat the disk and restore from backup. At times, backup fails to provide required information when you try to restore from it. In such situations, you need to use an efficient Data Recovery Mac software to extract lost files and folders.

Consider that you use a Leopard based computer. You might observe any of the following symptoms with your computer:

You start the computer, but it freezes up or takes considerable amount of time to start

You try to boot the computer and it displays a flashing question mark. The boot process fails after this event

Cause

Leopard startup disk is affected from disk errors. The issue could also occur if startup disk is not selected.

Solution

To isolate the given issue, apply the following measures:

Turn of your Leopard computer if you cannot start it and try starting it again by holding down the Option key until disk icon(s) appear. You can then choose System Preferences in Apple menu and click Startup Disk to select any disk.

You can directly select the drive by clicking Startup Disk if computer starts up after some time.

To repair the disk, you need to use Disk Utility. To do so, start the computer from Mac OS X installation disc or by holding Shift key while starting

If the problem remains the same, reinstall Mac OS X and restore data from backup

You need to use a File Recovery Mac utility if no healthy backup is available. Data Recovery Mac software are powerful tools exclusively designed to recover lost files and folders from a logically crashed Mac disk.
